R Documentation

Estimate Standardized Regression Coefficients and the Corresponding Sampling Covariance Matrix Using the Asymptotic Distribution-Free Approach

Description

Estimate Standardized Regression Coefficients and the Corresponding Sampling Covariance Matrix Using the Asymptotic Distribution-Free Approach

Usage

BetaADF(object, alpha = c(0.05, 0.01, 0.001))

Arguments

object	Object of class lm.
alpha	Numeric vector. Significance level \alpha.

Details

Note that while the calculation in BetaADF() is different from betaDelta::BetaDelta() with type = "adf", the results are numerically equivalent. BetaADF() is appropriate when sample sizes are moderate to large (n > 250). BetaHC() is recommended in most situations.

Value

Returns an object of class betasandwich which is a list with the following elements:

call

Function call.

args

Function arguments.

lm_process

Processed lm object.

gamma_n

Asymptotic covariance matrix of the sample covariance matrix assuming multivariate normality.

gamma_hc

Asymptotic covariance matrix HC correction.

gamma

Asymptotic covariance matrix of the sample covariance matrix.

acov

Asymptotic covariance matrix of the standardized slopes.

vcov

Sampling covariance matrix of the standardized slopes.

est

Vector of standardized slopes.
